  1. Good point that we need understanding for signs to be useful.

  2. Elaina Colby said:

    Sign, sign
    Everywhere a sign
    Blockin’ out the scenery
    Breakin’ my mind
    Do this, don’t do that
    Can’t you read the sign?

  3. Dang, Elaina stole my response. This is a sign that I’m no longer as quick on the verbal draw, as I used to be. Five man electrical band, early 1970’s. That’s another sign that I have too much trivia in my brain. Now I’ll have the music in my head all day is another sign that I need to train. Because if I don’t do something immediately, that’s a sign I might be temporarily insane. Alas I strike out in vain, wishing another song to cancel this musical strain, I pause now for the choral supporting wain and I turn off my phone and get seated on the plane. Only five of six signs I think I should be able to explain.

    It’s daffodil time in Arizona. Woo hoo.

    • Woohoo! I love your 6 sentence story! And I love daffodils! They are a sure sign of spring – my favorite season! Thanks, Peter, your response is a sign that you haven’t lost your sense of humor!

  4. My sign of the times tells me to remember to put the clocks forward

  5. Ah, signs. Some of the more obvious ones, such as the one at the community pool saying, “Slippery When Wet,” are themselves a sign the lawyers have been let loose at the natatorium again.
